Friends of Riverfront Park is sponsoring a Save the Park Fundraiser & Update on Thursday, Nov. 16, from 5 – 9 pm at Sky Harbor Steakhouse, 1321 N. Park Drive in West Peoria, IL.

The event will include wine, cheese, and a silent auction of art, antiques, collectibles and other desirable items. Food will be available for purchase from the restaurant.

An update on the fight to save Riverfront Park from destruction if upscale apartments are built there also will take place.

The event is free but donations will be accepted. Friends of Riverfront Park has an all-volunteer staff. Donations are not tax deductible. All funds raised will be used to preserve Riverfront Park for public use.

For further information on the efforts to save Riverfront Park in Peoria from the apartments, see the FORP Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/riverfrontparkfriends
